Abstract

ABSTRACT

A solar collector constituted by a roof-shaped structure serving as a support for front and rear panels. The panels are elongated rectangular panels having the same dimensions as the faces of the structure on which various solar energy collectors are mounted, and whose top longitudinal edges are hinged to a common rotation axis coinciding with the ridge line of the structure. Combined with a support, this roof-shaped structure forms an assembly which, by means of appropriate mechanisms, can move about a vertical rotation axis. The solar collector is also provided with two different orientation systems. The first system operates in azimuth, and enables the moving assembly to rotate about its vertical axis with its plane solar collectors facing the sun. The second system operates in elevation and enables the front and back panels to rotate about their common horizontal axis and keep the same inclinations normal to the sun's rays. This second orientation system constitutes the main improvement brought by the present invention to this solar collector device.
